I feel you OP, another reason medical costs are so high is the insurance for the hospital/physician/tech...I had to get an mri done for reoccuring back pain and they wanted to charge me around 2k for it, on top of the nearly 30k price tag on hospital usage and surgeon fee for my back surgery. So what did I do being the broke single college student with no health insurance? Flew to japan, got my mri and surgery done with the same equipment and just as qualified staff as in the states, for around 2k USD...sad isn't it the state of the american medical industry
